Press Opinions,

This is going to be an awfully un-
healthy country for anarchists Tor the
next century or so.-[Philadelphia
Press, Rep.
A point for Anarchists to ponder:
Whenever the law has failed in this
country. then have come the vigi-
lantes.-[Omaha World.
There are signs of reaction in Ohio
against Governor Foraker's silly cam
paicp on the rebel flag and snub epi-
sode issues. 1t is high time there
was. ANY man or any party that will
dilly-daily with such nonsense in
these times of political discomfort
ought to stand a chance of being most
severely rebuked.-[Springfield Re-
publican, Ind.
No one blames the condemned Chi
cage men for taking advantage OF
every legal technicality, though they
repudiate the law. The point is that
the Anarchists can hardly object with
consistency to the use OF force against
them while insisting upon their own
right to appeal to it; particularly, as
we understand, they theoretically deny
the existence of anything like natural
Justice, and put mere expediency in
its place. Boston Globe, Dem.
When an Anarchist comes to his
senses the effect upon his mental or
ganization is apt to be serious. Victor
Wach. who stabbed himself in New
York ON Tuesday, told friend before
he died that "there was no room In
the country for Anarchists, and, there
fore, he saw no good reason why he
should not kill himself" The idea
that he might become a useful, law
abiding citizen does not seem to have
occurred to him.-lPhiladelphia In
quirer. Rep.
The truth is that President Cleve-
land is more popular now with his
party than ever he was before, and
the people, without regard to party.
think better of him than they ever
did. The only opposition to President
Cleveland in the Democratic party
comes from few boodlers and sore
heads. to whose assistance and CO.
operation in the work of preventing
President Cleveland from being the
next nominee OF the Democratic party
for President and the next President
vf the United States the Republican
politicians are entirely welcome.-[
Cleveland Plain Dealer, Dem.
Mr.. Gould announces that there
will be no advance of rates on any OF
the old Western Union lines, and that
the rates on the acquired lines of the
Baltimore and Ohio system will be
made to conform to the established
Western Union charges. He thinks
that the Western Union can afford to
do business at the present rates. Ii
not the public will want to know why
not. If Mr.. Gould wants to discour-
age demagogism and all wire pullers
except himself he will disarm criti-
cism and competition by serving the
public as well as he has served him
HIMSELF Boston Advertiser, Rep.l
The trouble is not in the lack of
money. There is plenty of money
more money in the country outside
the Treasury than ever was before
Bat speculations had reached to colos-
sal ventures and to general excess.
The collapse of a number of the great
est has brought the whole to a pause,
and las shaken credit and confidence.
AT such a time the monetary institu-
lions draw in and thereby increase the
apparent scarcity OF money. The re-
action will bring about action again,
and it will be found that money is
abundant. Then the public mind will
be glad that the public finances were
not overturned to initiate the collapsed
speculative bubbles. = Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette, Rep.
Randall's Atlanta speech was in
direct contradiction to the proclama-
tions from the White House, the
utterances of the majority of Southern
papers, and the belief oil most South
ern Representatives in Congress. But
the Exposition was the visible proof
of the truth OF what he said. And an
sntelligent study of the causes operat
ing to produce the recent growth Of
industries OF the New South must con-
vice his hearers that no policy could
be more inimical to their interests to-
day than free trade. There is unques-
tionably a growing sentiment in the
South turning from free trade to pro-
lection, and such speeches as this of
the Pennsylvania statesman will do
much to encourage it. Buffalo Ex-
press, Rep.
Sooner or later there will be rude
awakening. France and perhaps an
other European power will step in and
attempt to control this matter of tran
sit from ocean to ocean. Then our
government will raise a row about the
Monroe doctrine. An army will be
raised, q navy will be built, and at a
vast outlay of blood and treasure we
will go to work and settle what could
have been settled before without firing
a gun and with the most insignificant
outlay. American craftsmanship is
capable of dealing with this problem,
but how can it when it is always en-
gagged in preparing for the next cam
paign, There will be very disas-
trous campaign, one of these days, for
the statesmen who continue to neglect
the important business down on the
isthmus. i Atlanta Constitution, Dem.
Southern industrial progress is no
longer theory; it is an accomplished
fact. The development of wealth in

startled the North, but has made
every civilized nation OF the world
take pause to note the boundless
sources Of riches developed by the
energy OF the New South. Before the
war, the South initiated the sluggish
advancement of the Old World. 1t
had cotton, and cotton was king, and
its countless millions OF coal, iron,
lumber and uncultivated fertile lands
were left to slumber, because unneed-
ed; but now necessities called into
action all the energy, skill and cour-
age required to develop the wealth
of the South, and we must now con-
fess in the North that the South,
rather than Europe, is soon to be our
most dangerous competitor in the pro-
